Business & Investors Against Tax Haven Abuse

Over the last 30 years, we have disproportionately benefited from economic policy. We feel it’s time to rebalance the economy so that it works for everyone — not just the wealthy. Our country is facing unprecedented economic challenges right now: We all need to pay our fair share to resolve these issues and make long overdue investments in education, health, energy and infrastructure.

It is powerful when those who would pay a tax speak publicly on its behalf. It’s important that we let our elected officials know that there are thousands of us who would pay more — pay our fair share — to invest in the country.

 

 

Responsible businesses are at a competitive disadvantage when other firms hide assets in tax havens and avoid paying their fair share of taxes. Our communities lose the revenue needed to fund essential services and the infrastructure that supports economic growth. An estimated $100 billion or more in tax revenue is lost every year to offshore accounts.

Washington has been hearing mostly from Wall Street business lobbyists opposed to strong legislation to stop tax haven abuse. The voice of business people and investors can make a crucial difference in this debate.
